People who love clean and spacious bedrooms prefer to buy storage beds with drawers because of their ability to store things and save space. Your room can look better when clutter is removed and you can freely design it according to your preferences. Although there are many advantages to storage beds, you should also be aware that they have disadvantages as well.
If you are planning to buy a storage bed, check these pros and cons first before finally deciding on one.
advantage
1. It can save a lot of space Saving space is one of the best assets in storage beds. Most manufacturers will make use of almost all of the bed space just to give you a more organized compartment to store your valuables. Like a bed-shaped cabinet, it has drawers that you can easily open.
2. Clean and spacious bedroom: Unlike typical beds, such as those with box springs, where you can’t store things underneath, drawer storage beds do the job of storing efficiently. Since you can store everything you want, you will have a clean and tidy bedroom and your space will be expanded. By then, it will be easier for you to design the bedroom based on your preferred layout, and cleaning won’t be a problem, as things that collect dust are stored in much more sealed storage, under your bed.
3. Stunning Design – Simplicity is beauty! Most storage beds are top notch when it comes to design. At first glance, you’ll see how simple and elegant it is and most of the time you won’t even notice the drawers underneath. Its solid construction makes it an ideal bed for small rooms and since it comes in a wide variety of materials: wood, plastic, metal or mixed, it will be easy to find the one that suits your tastes.
cons
1. Too bulky and heavy to transport: This is one of the biggest problems when buying a storage bed. Due to its solid construction with all the drawers and compartments, it is too heavy to carry and will not easily slide through doors. So it will not be ideal for those who are living in condos, apartments or for people who tend to move from one place to another.
2. “Jack of all trade-master of none”: This is somewhat true in some cases, such as the storage bed. Being an all-in-one product, you would not expect its use as a bed and as a drawer to have the same level of excellence in terms of quality. There may be faulty knobs, drawer latch, etc.
Based on the pros and cons, we can see that the pros outweigh the cons of drawer storage beds. However, it depends on our own discernment whether it is ideal for our home or not, especially if we live in an area with high-rise and closed spaces (such as apartments), where it is difficult to transport the bed.
